24/7 news cycle + social media and the eternal quest for likes
I’ll agree that’s part of it, but I’m thinking the bulk of it is that we politicized mental health (once one side realized that was an untapped easily influenced voting group), we got rid of the majority of our asylums, then we started cheering on the “acceptance” of alternative/crazy thoughts and lifestyles.

i agree 100%. the 24/7 news cycle and social media stuff is an amplifier for what you're saying. but that goes for many topics really, one side realizes they can easily influence a voting group (usually the emotional folks on the left), and they use CNN and SM.
but yes, you're absolutely right.
